3. Utopia
"Ah, although hard work is a good thing, you should also be careful about your health, Ms. Sharon."
On the apron of the Isle Island Prison, Professor Charles, who was manipulating his spiritual power, lifting up his wheelchair, and walking on the gangway of the plane gently reminded Agent Sharon behind him:
"Your mental state is not very stable, probably because you are too tired."
"I know, I will pay attention."
Agent Sharon maintained a smile, but her cheeks were a little red. It was really embarrassing just now. While waiting for the professor to finish emotional counseling for the prisoner, she fell asleep in the office.
Although this is harmless, once it is spread, it will destroy Sharon's good image in S.H.E.L.D. Fortunately, Professor Charles is a kind elder and will not spread such boring gossip everywhere.
As the plane carrying the professor disappeared at the end of the sea, Agent Sharon rubbed his eyes, and she couldn't help but yawn.
"What happened today?"
She shook her head and asked softly:
"Did you really not sleep well last night? No, Crystal has already traveled around the world, and no one disturbs me to rest."
"Forget it, go to the lounge for a while."
Agent Sharon returned to the Isolated Island Prison, but before resting, she went to the surveillance room dutifully and looked at the surveillance records just now.
"Riwen is normal, Yong. Roger is normal, vampire mercury is normal."
"Magneto, normal. Hey, is he still studying that chess? It seems that even a bad guy has his own hobbies."
A few days later, on a plane to an archipelago in the Pacific, SHIELD Director Fury and Deputy Director Merlin sat opposite each other, talking.
"What happened to the invasion a few days ago?"
Fury asked casually while flipping through the documents at hand:
"I received reports of invasion from several bases, but there seemed to be no casualties?"
"Well, it's not just no casualties."
Merlin also held a document and said slowly:
"The attacked bases were not broken. The ghost base with the worst losses were only a set of defense modules. I have said a long time ago that the things Tony invented are not reliable."
He complained:
"There is no need to start the process of weak invaders. For powerful invaders, the high-voltage power grid will be done with a slight tear. I really can't figure out why the Ministry of Science and Technology copied it in the first place."
"That's just a work of a student from ASCHEU."
Fury said:
"It's not a formal invention by the Ministry of Science and Technology. You know, our scientists have been busy with the manufacturing of that 'big guy' for some time, and they don't have time to deal with these gadgets."
The director picked up the pen and signed the documents in his hand. Meilin also picked up the pen and signed the documents on his own. Then the two exchanged the documents. Meilin said:
"I won't talk about that defense module. I think there is something unusual behind this invasion."
"Um?"
Fury looked up and looked at Merlin, he said:
"Did you have a clue?"
"No, not yet."
Merlin said:
"But it is not normal for the crazy attack to separate three power projections to attack our three bases. He launched an invasion at the same time, probably to adjust our high-end forces to cover up some other actions, but I checked everything that happened on the mainland during that time period, but found no valuable situation."
He said to Fury:
"This is not normal in itself. This means that either the mad attack is playing hard to get, or he is just attacking the world, and when we have no idea, he has quietly accomplished his purpose."
"But in your report to me, the threat of attacking this special mutant does not seem to be particularly threatening?"
Fury said:
"Do you think his existence will not have an impact on social order?"
“Not at the moment.”
Merlin raised her legs and picked up the coffee on the table. He stirred the melted sugar cubes with a spoon and said:
"From his appearance until now, he has never shown hostility to anyone other than the radical and neutral mutants who are biased towards radicals, or any force. His whereabouts are weird and difficult to detect, but I can feel that he seems to be trying to avoid conflicts with us. But I don't think it's because of our deterrence. I would rather believe that any action of this guy has a clear goal."
"Everything he did was for the same purpose."
Merlin looked out of the porthole, and below the plane was a blue sea with rugged light. He sipped a sip of coffee and said softly:
"When I first met him, he said 'all radical thinking must be eliminated', so at least in terms of values, he prefers Professor Charles' moderates, but his style of conduct is not at all gentle."
"Well, it sounds like a tough guy."
Fury rubbed his chin and said:
"But I believe you will handle it, right?"
"Um."
Merlin nodded and said:
"I will if he appears again. And if we are lucky enough, maybe we will meet him at the opening ceremony that is about to begin."
Merlin glanced at the invitation letter placed on the table and said:
"If that crazy attack is really so concerned about the development of mutants' civilization, then I think he will not miss the opening ceremony of the utopia. By the way, I heard that Pierce is coming too?"
"Yes, he is planning to come in person."
Fury said:
"After all, promoting the integration of moderate mutants into human society is a major event that the World Security Council has been advancing in recent years. Now all efforts have finally made a phased breakthrough. It is reasonable and reasonable. Pierce, as the chairman, should come here in person. However, the poor old man fell while running the morning before yesterday and broke his left leg, so I can only come for him."
"Tsk, this is really miserable."
Merlin said:
"He is old after all, so he still needs to pay attention to this."
"Yes, it's almost 70 years old."
Fury nodded and said:
"I went to see him and said the same words as you, but he was shot out of the ward by him. He didn't want to hear this. He felt that he was still energetic, but in fact, he had already started to wear reading glasses and would go to bed at around 9 o'clock every night. It's hard to think about what I remember when he was young."
"Agey, it's a sad topic no matter when."
Fury sighed, and Merlin was silent for a moment, he asked:
"I know, Agent Dugan has been injecting a serum that can keep him young and energetic."
"SSS serum, an incomplete injection similar to Super Soldier's serum."
Fury said:
"In my memory, Ms. Carter has also injected this thing for a while, but its sequelae are as obvious as its effect. Merlin, if she stops the injection, the human body will age faster, and even affect her thinking, greatly increasing the possibility of Alzheimer's disease."
"Pearce also knew about this medicine, but he didn't choose to inject it. He was a stubborn guy, Merlin, and no one could stop him from doing anything he wanted."
"Well, we're almost here."
Fury looked at his watch and said to Merlin:
“Where are the first mutants who applied to enter the utopia?”
"Probably in the sea below us."
Merlin pushed his glasses and Icarus quickly tracked a passenger ship full of mutants, driving towards the archipelago deep in the Pacific Ocean on the nearby sea.
"At their pace, they should be able to climb Utopia at the end of the opening ceremony."
Merlin said:
"But I even more suspect that their arrival is also part of the opening ceremony, and this group of mutants is quite good at playing."
"Let them go."
Fury leaned against the chair, his hands folded on his abdomen, he said:
"Today is a big day for mutants, and today they are the real protagonists."
"This is the live report sent back by the Global Daily in the Utopia Islands. I am investigative reporter Eddie Brock, and my friends, today I will take you to the mysterious mutant city Utopia in the heart of the Pacific Ocean, and the large opening ceremony that moderate mutants will hold in a few hours."
At the entrance of Utopia Island, young investigative journalist Eddie Brock held a microphone in his hand, facing the camera in front of him with a vivid expression and endless description of the city built by the mutant.
Beside him, there are fellow media from all over the world, and everyone is chattering and talking in various languages, like a group of noisy ducks.
"The ratings are rising rapidly, a little more active, Eddie, I'm talking about it more funny."
The editor-in-chief's voice rang in Eddie's ears through the communicator. Eddie could even hear the joy and excitement in the editor-in-chief's tone. Although today's opening ceremony was only held by the mutants to celebrate the establishment of their first city, it really attracted the attention of many ordinary people.
This is due to Professor Charles' persistence in speeches in cities around the world over the past year. With the secret support of the official, the professor's moderate thinking was regarded as evidence that mutants and ordinary people can live in peace and integrate with each other. Under crazy propaganda, almost all ordinary people in the world know the name of Professor Charles, a great man.
and the various causes he has done in the past to save the world.
For the official, it is not difficult to create a hero, especially when the hero is already real.
Therefore, in just over a year, the professor's reputation has risen sharply. Not only ordinary people praise the elder's excellent character, but also the originally volatile mutant people have begun to truly unite by the professor.
On the other hand, there has always been friction between humans and mutants. Some people can accept mutants, and some people will hate them. With the establishment of the mutant urban utopia, protests by radicals among ordinary people have reached a peak, but this fierce protest has made the incident more popular and more eye-catching.
The result is the hot scene today. It is no exaggeration to say that the whole world is almost paying attention to this originally unknown archipelago.
"Come with me, Bob."
Eddie, who was ordered, immediately waved his hand and summoned his cameraman. He walked towards the mutant city built in a valley behind him, saying:
"Let's see what this city is like when the mutant has built over a year. I heard that they used their own strange capabilities to build this city, which is really curious."
Under the attention of the camera, Eddie strided into the utopian city, but he saw a huge tree and the stairs wrapped around the trees. Some mutant children were playing on the vines of the trees like slides.
This is a wooden house, mixed in the concrete buildings on both sides.
“Wow.”
Eddie pointed to the huge tree house and sighed slightly exaggeratedly. He turned around and said to the camera:
"I knew that the mutant people would not let us down, they added the art of nature to their cities. Look at that, what is that? Is it a signal tower?"
The investigative reporter looked at the street on the other side of the tree house again. Next to the wide and tidy street, a metal tower dozens of meters high was standing there, and there were blue arcs of light jumping on the top of the tower.
And such towers spread throughout the city.
"Wow"
An electric arc jumped quickly, emanating from the top of the tower like lightning, and then rushed to the top of another tower.
"Oh, it looks like an electric energy transmission device."
Eddie turned around and said to the camera:
"This technology has just entered the application stage in the human world, but there are already complete transmission towers in the mutant city. It seems that you and I have to modify our stereotyped understanding of mutants in our minds, etc. Did I just see a boy with wings flying over my head?"
As Eddie's voice sounded, the camera suddenly raised towards the sky, where a young man soaring in the air with white feathers spread out his wings and soaring in the air jumped into the camera, probably feeling the shooting on the ground. The handsome boy turned his head, waved to the camera, and showed a gentle smile.
"Oh my God, he's so handsome."
Eddie said in a weird tone:
"If I were a woman, I would have fallen into it. A handsome boyfriend who could fly, it was really irresistible."
With Eddie's hard commentary, the popularity of the online live broadcast room of Global Daily was increasing rapidly, and the editor-in-chief's praise sounded in Eddie's ears. The investigative reporter also thought the city was quite interesting, but just as he was about to continue the introduction, he suddenly saw a very familiar person.
The guy in a windbreaker was walking on the streets of utopia with a white-haired lady in a long skirt.
Eddie's eyes turned and he said to the camera:
"Let's randomly ask a tourist to interview it and see how people who are lucky enough to be invited to this opening ceremony evaluate the city."
After saying that, Eddie walked towards Merlin, who was walking with Ororo on the street. The investigative reporter felt inexplicable.
